The charity was set up in 2020 by 5 founders who were all previous members of Mountain Rescue and Lowland Rescue teams and two team members who were also retired police dog handlers, giving us a wealth of experience in both search techniques and dog training.
We love the fact that our dogs have amazing noses and can tell the difference between everyone's individual scent in such a way they can find one person in a stadium full of people.
The objectives of Cornwall Search Dogs (Searching for lost People and Dogs) are:
For the benefit of the public to relieve the unnecessary suffering of animals by the searching for lost dogs.
The preservation and protection of health and the saving of lives by providing a dedicated and trained emergency search service consisting of appropriately trained dogs and volunteer handlers to assist and support the emergency services and voluntary rescue services in the search and rescue of missing persons in Cornwall.
